Well said, but don't expect to be sleeping on the couch. You won't be sleeping at all once the baby is born.
To answer your question: Rut is exactly right. There is no correct answer and you need to figure it out in partnership with your wife.
You also want to make sure you have clear communication with your assignor and find out how they want you to handle it. When my first was born, I had a discussion with my assignor and asked if I should block the entire month to protect against possible turnbacks when my wife goes into labor. He said he was okay assigning me games and I could turn back any that I needed to, but it's an important conversation to have.
